` VBe it known that l, EMIL OLsoN, a citizen off the United States, and resident of -Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have .invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sasli-llold ers",- of lwhich the followingzis a specifica- `will enter into biting engagement therewith upon the rocking of the wedging member on `the forcing of either one of f the sashes while the sash holder is effective Afor holding said parts against movement, thereb preventing any further movement of eit er of the sashes in the direction of opening.

To these and other `ends the invention consists of certain arts and combinations of parts, all of which will be hereinafter described, the novel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:`

Figure 1 shows the sash holder in side elevation mounted in operative position, the upper and lower sash being shown in fragmentary section;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of a sash holder; and

Fig. 3 isa vertical section.

Referring more particularly to the draw,n

ings, 1 indicates the meeting rail of the lower sash and 2 the meeting rail of the upper sash. The supporting member ofthe sash holder embodies in this instance, a pair of spaced ears 3 connected at their lower endsV by a'base plate 4 which is adjustably mounted on an attaching plate or member 5, the latter being secured by a single ,screw 6 to the meeting rail 1 of the lower sash. Adjustment -of the supporting member on the attaching member may be secured 'through a thumb screw 7 journaled at 8 in an extension 9 .en the base 4 of the support ing. member, said .screw engagmg in a Specification of Letters Eatent.

threaded opening formed in a lug 10 pro- `iected upwardly from the attaching plate 5. The wedging member, in this instance, is formed from a singlel piece of sheet metal with a front `face 11 which is depressed to provide a pocket in whichV the face en aging `piece `12 is received, this piece, in t is instance, being in the form of a rubber disk.

`h'lxtending from opposite sides of the front plate 11 are two flanges 13 which have their free edges 14 beveled and cooperating with a pair of rollers 15, the latter being arranged on the outer sides of theears 8 on a shaft 16 which extends through said ears and projects from opposite sides of the support.

The wedging member is preferably supported on a supporting member by a lever 17 which has `depending lugs or flanges 18 provided with slots 19 through which the pivot pin 16 extends. This lever is through a pivot pin 20, pivotally connected with the flanges 18 of the wedging member. A spring 21 surrounds the pin or shaft 16 between tlie ears 18 and has one arm coperating with the base 4 of the support and the. other arm coperating with the lever 1,7 so as normally to move the lever in a direc tion to shift the wedging member downwardly on the support. Depression of the lever shifts the wedging member in an uprThe thumb screw 7 is adjustable to maintain proper cooperation between the surface 12 and the stile of the upper sash and the attaching plate or member turns on the `screw 6 so that the plane of the surface 12 may lie parallel with the face of the sash which is engaged by .such surface. VNo claim is made, in this application, to any of the foregoing parts per se.

The feature of this invention is the provision of the wedging member with a device which will lbite into the stile of the upper sash in the event that an .attempt is made to force either of the sashes in the; `direction of opening. lThis device, in this instance, is in the-form of aftooth or prong 22 projected upwardly from one of Vthe flanges 13 and thence forwardly toward the upper sash, the end ofthe prong lying slightly in rear of the engaging surface of the pad 12.

With this arrangement, under the ordinary operation of the wedging member 13, the penetrating projection 21 will not en# :Lie

gage the upper sash with force enough to penetrate such sash, but in the event that either of the sashes are forced after Such sashes have been secured by the Wedging member, then there is zt tendency for the Wedging member to rock and swing the penetrating projection 2l into biting` engagement with the upper sash so that bot-l1 sashes are securely held ege-inst further movement Without :my danger of the Wedging member slipping on the upper Sri-Sh.

That I claim as my invent-ion and desire to Secure by Letters `"etent ie:

l. A sash holder comprising a supporting frame, a Wedging member cooperating with said 'frame to move vertically thereon and also to rock so as to cooperate properly with a flat face of e Sasha and u. penetretor having its penetrating point lying slightly in rear of the engaging ieee oi the wedging holding member and adapted to swing with Suid member into engagement with the sash to lock the latter against movement in the direction of opening if the Harsh is forced.

2. A sash holder comprising :t snpportin f frame, at Wedging holding member foime with a portion to eoperzite with n. Het face of the sash und with two flanges coperatin f with said frame to permit the wedging hol ing member to more vertically on Seid supporting treme und also to rock, und :14 penetraitor formed integrally with one of said flanges and having :t penetrating point lying in e. plone slightly in reni' of the engaging portion of the wedging holding member and adapted to Swing into engagement with the Sash to lool; the letter against accidental movement in the direction of opening if the sash be forced.
